The current Rantasipi Valtionhotelli (Imatran Valtionhotelli) was opened in 1903 as the Grand Hotel Cascade. It was the favoured getaway for the nobility from St. Petersburg and the Finnish aristocracy. I heard that also Czar Nicholas II of Russia enjoyed staying here. The hotel is situated next to the Imatra Rapids, which are allowed to run free at set times.... More

The original hotel is a great castle, which has added a new annex more modern and anonymous. We, unfortunately, stayed in the second. The room was large and clean. The hotel has a lovely spa with pool, hot tubs and saunas. Breakfast is served in the castle in a beautiful and historic hall. The experience was good and the rapids... More

Stayed here recently on a week-long business trip. My room was in the newer portion of the hotel near the spa. Room was comfortable and spa cafe was a great place to grab a quick salad and glass of wine for those evenings when I wasn't looking for a big dinner. Breakfast was the standard European fare, with a wide... More

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend. The hotels has 2 buildings: the castle and the the spa building. We had to live at new spa building since the castle was fully booked. I do not regret about that since castle rooms are more expensive and less cozy. Anyhow the breakfast room is located at the castle building, so... More

I stayed here for one night in the old building. The building is really nice and full of nice details at least if looked from outside, almost like a small castle. Also the public areas inside create a nice, traditional and decorous atmosphere. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The location is perfect if you want to see the... More

We stayed at the Rantasipi Valtionhotelli for 12 nights in January 2010. It is a beautiful historic castle hotel. The new spa had opened in May 2009. Our room was a refurbished spa room with nice modern decor and a beautiful view of the park. I personally had several treatments in a new Julia Well-Being treatment center. I had one... More

I stayed in this hotel first in August 2007, in the old castle-style building. I liked it a lot that time. And the next time - October 2008 - we were even more satisfied, as there has been additional (Congress) building constructed, with saunas and hotel rooms. This new building is connected to the main one with the underground corridor,... More

This is a pearl in the rich choice of Finnish hotels and a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture. Insist on a room in the historical building and enjoy the lobby, the carefully decorated staircases, the brit-style library. the well kept ambiente of the rooms combining blue textile with dark brown furniture and the view down to the rapids and their...
